Abstract
In various embodiments, a battery fuel gauge includes a processor. The processor can be configured to obtain information relating to expansion of a battery and to determine a state of charge and/or a state of health of the battery based at least in part on the expansion of the battery. In certain embodiments, a battery management system can be configured to control charging/discharging and/or cooling/heating of one or more cells in the battery based at least in part on the expansion of the battery.
